I'd hate to be the tinter involved

Im friends with a bunch of guys who own body shops, and tinted cars involved in accidents in this town are a very small percentage of their business. Maybe the people to blame for her driving are the people who have allowed her to continue to drive. IMO.

dude, it's so bad here, a burgler can sue you if he gets hurt while robbing your home

That' fugged up..if that happened in my neck of the woods, we'd roll the burgler up a fat to numb the pain from hurting himself and treat him to a pizza once he got the munchies, have a few laughs about it and send him on his way

I've actually hear of a guy that broke a window to rob a house and got cut real bad and had to go to the hospital and he sued the homeowner and won

If it is a large tint shop that did the work and they think there is $$ to be had, they will sue I would guess.

One lesson from this story is that I have NEVER gone less than the legal limit on the front sides, and never will.

I could have retired by now very rich if I would do illegal tint, but nope ! I will continue to plug to make a buck to get through each day.

I believe the limit here in Texas is now 28% but I only put on 35 which makes it 32% ?

And the folks who want the rear roll downs dark, nope !

35% or nothing on all side roll downs.

I heard I story about a robber that got looked in the garage of a house. the power was off. he survived on dog food. sued the owner of the house, because they were on vacation. he was in there too long. DUMB ASS

Being a professional tinter, can't you have some sort of verbage on a receipt that states, "I know the tinting laws for my state and am aware that (Tint Shop's Name) will not be liable for any accidents/tickets, due to illegally tinted windows."

The reason I ask this is that everyone I know gets their cars illegally tinted, most end up taking it off after a few tickets, but what I'm concerned about (and yes USA is a sue-happy country) is what this article is saying...tint *may* have caused this person to not see a pedestrian and either the family of the victim, the city/state, or the driver of the vehicle would try to sue the tinter.

Does anyone make their customer's sign a document stating that they made that person aware of the current tint laws in their area?

I hope chico did the tint, that would be funny, except for teh death part

It was Chuey!!!

the person wasn't in the road, he would not have got hit. I about hit someone everyday in atlanta. people always not walking on cross walks. I roll down the window and tell them to get the fukk out of the road.

Those waivers have been used against the tinter, it is basically an admission by the tinter that he/she knowingly installed illegal tint. That waiver can and has bit tinters in the arse.
